Inspired by the Southwest The southwest is my home and the inspiration for my art - from the mountains of Colorado to the Grand Canyon of Arizona to the Pueblos of New Mexico. Each print is a unique vision of each of these. In preparation I travel to a location first and create an on-site color study which I carefully match in the studio. I hope you enjoy these prints as much as I did making them. The process page on this website gives you an overview of my printmaking process. Original Hand-Pulled Block Prints The Gallery page of this website features original prints available for sale. Each print is matted in an extra-wide, acid-free mat with foam core backing - ready for framing. These are limited edition prints with a typical edition size of 8 to 15.

What is an original print? All prints featured on this site are original, hand-pulled, limited edition block prints These relief prints are printed from woodcuts and linocuts that best suit the expressive needs of the final print. According to the New Mexico Printmaker's Society : "A hand-pulled print is an original, ink-on-paper, work of art. The artist creates a plate, block, stone, stencil, or other matrix that is then inked and from which an image is printed (pulled) onto paper using a press or by hand-rubbing. The artist may choose to print one or multiple images from the matrix (the total number of prints is known as the edition). Each finished print is signed and numbered by the artist in pencil (this is called the edition number). Once the edition is complete the original block is either defaced or destroyed so that no more prints can be made from that matrix. Hand-pulled prints vs. giclee prints A giclee print is an individually produced, high-resolution reproduction of an original artwork that is made on a special large format printer. Since giclees are produced from digital scans of existing artwork, they cannot be considered original or hand-pulled."
